STUDY AND EVALUATION OF THE HYDROLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

ABSTRACT This research deals with the hydrological and hydrochemical characteristics of Al-Massab Al-Aam channel(middle sector), which could be useful for the intended restoration efforts. Analyzing and interpreting the chemistry of water can provide valuable insights into surface water interactions. Major elements cations and anions(Ca+2 , Mg+2 , Na+ , K + , SO4 -2 , Cl-, CO3 -2 , HCO3 -), minor elements (NO-3, PO-3 4), and physical properties (pH, EC, TDS, temperature, color, odor, and TH). The Water discharge ranges between 88-220m 3 /s, and the average value is 169.5m 3 /s, while the water elevations above sea level ranges between 1.92-17.9 m and the average value is 8.35 m .The water samples are suitable for irrigation purposes according to the variables: SAR, Na% and RSC .
